Because

Because

The moon lies on a couch
With a picture of itself overhead
And I’ve always taken to heart
Each and every word you said

Do not let their dark
Cold deceitful ways
Overcome your soul
Overcome your days

They are leeches
They are spiritual parasites
They have no direction
Nothing for which to fight

Survive the bastards
Stand with sword in hand
Cut a path way through them
Let life’s spark lightning’s command

For it is you who are the prism
That splits the beam of light
It is you that casts the colors
That amazes in array the sight

Because

The moon lies on a couch
With a picture of itself overhead
And I’ve always taken to heart
Each and every word you said

It's worth it

It's worth it

To smile at the sun
To set yourself free
To see through the veils
Of all these tragedies

It's worth it

To open up your heart
To the changing winds
To go deeper inside
Of what it means

To be a friend

****
****

It's worth it

To break the bonds
That would bind the soul
Of anything that would keep
One from becoming whole

It's worth it

To attend to the simple truth
To establish autonomy
To give oneself a chance
At some beauty and harmony
